Product details
Convert a measured Small Ford rear axle with black AERO4 calipers, 14-inch GT rotors and electronic parking. Confirm the 2.50-inch axle offset. This conversion keeps hydraulic service braking and electric parking in separate calipers selected for the documented mounting arrangement. From its base in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components. Bill Wood founded the company in 1977. Its calipers, brake rotors, valves, master cylinders, brake lines and fittings serve street-performance, motorsport and specialized applications. Select each component according to the requirements of the complete braking system.

Fitment & Compatibility
This conversion is selected by the Small Ford housing flange and a measured 2.50-inch axle offset. Compare the housing bolt centers, bearing retainer, axle registration and offset with the Wilwood worksheet before choosing a kit. The 1990 Lincoln Town Car entry in the table below requires individual axle verification; model year alone does not establish compatibility. The electric parking system includes its control unit and harness and is for parking, not an emergency stopping brake. Provide compatible hydraulic lines separately and check the complete wheel envelope against DS-1424.
